Signature Design Concept

The homepage will feature an interactive tapestry design that reflects Indian cultural motifs. Users can scroll through a virtual tapestry where each section of the website is represented as a unique pattern or motif. Hovering over a section will animate the pattern, revealing more information or a call-to-action. This concept will use framer-motion for smooth animations and gsap for scroll-triggered effects, creating a dynamic and immersive experience.
